Inspector Whitelist Introductory

"Congratulations! You have been chosen and been promoted to the position of Provost Inspector. You are being assigned to the UNS Almayer to assist, and supervise, the onboard Military Police Department in carrying out the will of the Sector Marshal and ensuring the spirit of our laws is considered and followed. Conduct yourself with the highest of standards, but remain approachable and respectful; You are still a mentor for the department first and foremost."

Introduction

This page covers key policies, responsibilities, and the expectations placed upon Provost Inspectors (PvIs) both in-round and out. It contains policies, overviews of internal systems, and notes/resources broadly useful for all members of the whitelist.

Policies

• Upkeep a positive reputation in the overall community, meaning both in-game and out.
• Maintain kind, respectful, and positive behavior both in-game and out.
• Maintain a high(er) end expectation of MRP in all roles and characters.
• Make well informed rulings based on the intent and spirit of MLaw and SOP.

Provost Inspector

As a Provost Inspector you are a direct representation of the Provost Marshals Office onboard the ship. You represent the  intent and spirit of Marine Law/SOP, as determined by the Sector Marshal. You are the final say in terms of standard staff that can be found onboard the UNS Almayer. Provost Inspectors fundamentally have three primary focuses:

1. Ensure new members of the MP Department, or those new to being a MW or CMP, are trained  and  well instructed on how to carry out their responsibilities properly and correctly.
2. Ensure the Spirit and Intent of Marine Law is followed and considered by all members of the Military Police.
3. Represent the Provost Marshals Office.

In-Round Authority & Actions

In any round where a Provost Inspector is present, they are above both the Chief MP and Whitelisted Commanding Officers in the Marine Law Hierarchy. If there is a matter you can not handle, it then goes to any currently online Admin. Provost Inspectors should be mindful of when they exercise their authority. Generally, you should only need to out of necessity; either due Military Police failing to act, or extreme misuse of authority. Otherwise, you should attempt to educate first, leaving overruling a decision as mostly a last resort.

Provost Inspectors, along with interpreting the spirit of marine law and the authority to make decisions within the spirit, are permitted by the Sector Marshal to:

1. Approve the arrest of members of the Military Police department.
2. Return prisoner rights if they have previously been revoked.
3. Handle appeals directed to the Provost Marshal Office, deferring to their superiors via fax if they do not feel capable of handling the matter.

Provost Inspectors are not present onboard to run the department for the Chief MP or to carry out arrests on 'standard' criminals. When possible, issues and day-to-day operations should still be handled by the CMP and MW. They should not be 'skipped' in answering questions from standard MPs or in being called to handle issues when reasonably possible. Inspectors, generally, should only be intervening out of necessity or to prevent a severe issue from occurring in the first place.

New Player Vision

New Player Vision

Provost Inspectors are granted the same New Player vision that SEAs get access to. This allows you to more easily identify those who need extra attention, supervision, training, etc.

• First time playing that role ever. (Purple)
• New to both the game and job. (Red)
• New to the game, but not the job. (Yellow)
• New to the job, but not the game. (Green)

The purple color represents someone with <1 hour in their current role.

Miscellaneous

• There is a page containing all whitelist characters and a majority of admin characters. If you would like to be added to it, please consult the wiki page
• Just because you have obtained the PvI whitelist, your learning process has not stopped, nor should it ever really 'stop'. At all stages of being a PvI, you are encouraged to ask for assistance and ask questions should you require it. This can be in-game, the #provost-inspector chat, or DMs of your peers. Each PvI will have a mentor directly attached to them for supervision and guidance. Use them.
• The mentor process for new whitelist holders and whitelist mentors can be found here.
